Landscaping Projects You Can Do With a Bobcat Hire

Landscaping projects are on the mind of many homeowners. Some of these projects are very basic, but there are some that go beyond laying some mulch and planting some flowers. If you are looking at a large landscaping project, you may be considering using a Bobcat hire. Before you do, consider the different landscaping projects you can do with that Bobcat so you can plan accordingly for the time of your rental.

Breaking up Driveways and Walkways

When you bought your home, there may have already been a driveway or walkway as part of the property. This driveway or walkway may have been fine until you decided that you wanted to use the area as part of your landscaping and you want the concrete moved. You can actually use the Bobcat to break up the concrete, asphalt or stone areas and free the area up for landscaping designs. All you will need is to rent a concrete breaker and have it attached to the Bobcat or have the rental company show you how to attach and safely remove the breaker.

Clearing Land and Small Trees

If you have an area of your land that is covered in brush and small trees, you may be wondering how to remove them and use the area as part of your new landscaping project. The Bobcat can break down the brush and the small trees and remove them from the area to clear the land for future landscaping. You may still need to go in and remove small branches and limbs, but overall the land can be cleared ahead of reseeding the lawn and larger projects.

Fill Dirt

If you are taking on a larger landscaping project, part of that project may be to clear and even out the land. This may be part of your project plan because the land dips in areas or just isn't as even as you need it to be for landscaping designs and lawn furniture. You can bring in fill dirt and flatten that dirt down with a Bobcat hire. This does not require specific attachments or any special equipment beyond the Bobcat itself. You can have a fill dirt hire come in and bring fill dirt for the project. Simply drive the Bobcat up to the fill dirt piles, then move the dirt to the area you want and flatten it out after spreading it.

These are just three of the tasks that a Bobcat hire would be ideal for when you have a landscape project in mind. Talk to a company like Eastern Plant Hire about hiring the Bobcat and other attachments, like tillers, that may help with your specific landscaping project.

Construction: The House That Jack Built

Hello, welcome to my blog. My name is Jack. Ever since I was a little boy, I dreamed of building my own home. I used to spend hours playing with my wooden building blocks, constructing towers and palaces. When I was at school, I practised my drawing skills to I could draught my own blueprints. I also paid attention in my woodworking and metalwork classes. However, when the time came to build my dream house, I realised that I would need some heavy construction equipment. Thankfully, a friend of mine works in the industry. He explained everything I needed to know about hiring excavators and cranes. It took a long time but my house is finally complete. I decided to start this blog to pass on everything I have learnt about heavy construction.
